"Don't get me wrong he's done great things for the sport and had a great career, but at he end of the day, he's a cheat and I hope Bisping puts him to sleep and that the steroids aren't flowing through his veins so he's not the same fighter," said the Scotsman.

Whiteford also admitted he was a little disappointed to not be on the card himself though he was pleased to see that the event did feature a good representation of British fighters:

"I wanted to get on it right away but I also wanted to get Christmas out of the way and enjoy that," said Whiteford.

"I e-mailed the UFC at the start of January but by then the card was already full. We've got a big presence of British fighters on the card anyway so it's not like I'm upset or anything."

"I might have been a wee bit upset if there were 10 American guys on it but we've got a good representation of British on there so I'm not too fussed about it."

"You can't get everything you ask for and I've been lucky so far with some of the cards I've got on, so sometimes you just got to roll with it," he ended.

Whilst Whiteford wasn't booked to fight on the UFC London card, he is still hopeful that the UFC will return to Glasgow this year and revealed he had talked about it with the UFC bosses when he was in Las Vegas at a UFC Athlete's Summit last November:

"After my fight in Dublin they flew me over to Las Vegas for some meetings with Lorenzo and Dana and they disclosed some of the plans they had for me, my future and for doing Glasgow and Scotland again."

"Really it just comes down to the fighters from Scotland that are in the UFC. We've got three of us in there so we really need to keep on winning."

"If we go in there and get bounced out there will be no show and no reason for them to come back to Scotland so we need to keep going in there, keep doing our thing and keep on winning fights."

Whiteford ended by saying: "If we do that, the UFC will be back in Glasgow before we know it so hopefully I will kick start this year off with a win against my next opponent and I look forward to seeing the UFC here at the end of the year or the start of early next year."

Whiteford will be announcing his next fight in the coming weeks and it is expected that he will be part of one of the upcoming UFC Zagreb or UFC Rotterdam cards in April or May.
